Recommended Cooking Settings; Flexinduction™ Cooking Zone - Bosch HII8057U User Manual

General tips
Notes
¡ If there is no cookware on the cooking zone, the cook-
ing zone display blinks. This means that the cooking
zone tries to detect the cookware. Place cookware on
the cooking zone within 30 seconds, or the cooking
zone will switch itself off.
¡ If the indicators blink while cookware is present on the
cooking zone, check whether the cookware is suitable
for induction cooking.
¡ If there is cookware on the cooking zone before switch-
ing the cooktop on, it is detected within 20 seconds after
touching the main switch and the cooking zone is se-
lected automatically. Set the power level within 10 sec-
onds. Otherwise, the cooking zone switches off after
20 seconds.
¡ If there are several pieces of cookware on the cooktop
when it is switched on, only one piece of cookware is
detected.
¡ Place cookware on the flexible cooking zone in the cor-
rect position according to size.
8.4 Recommended cooking settings
Here you can find recommendations on cooking and an
overview of various dishes with suitable heat levels.
¡ Select heat level 8 or 9 for bringing to a boil or initial fry-
ing.
¡ Stir thick liquids occasionally.
¡ Food that needs to be seared quickly, or food which
loses a lot of liquid during initial frying, is best seared in
several small portions.
¡ When you cook with a lid on, turn the heat setting down
as soon as steam escapes between lid and cookware.
¡ Keep the lid on the cookware after cooking until you
serve the food.
¡ When you cook with a pressure cooker, observe the
manufacturer's instructions.
¡ Do not cook food for too long or in too much water. Oth-
erwise the nutrients will be lost. You can use the kitchen
timer to set the optimum cooking time.
¡ Do not heat oil or grease until it smokes. You will
achieve healthier cooking results.
¡ When you brown food, fry small portions one after the
other.
¡ Cookware may become very hot during cooking. We
recommend the use of pot holders.
